Ended up not doing it. Took the car back in right before the warranty expired and got the dealer to do rear rotors, pads, and sensors. Fronts are at 7mm, and I don't plan to track the car, so they'll last a while. Beyond that, working for Vivid Racing, I can get all parts at wholesale and have my shop guys do the install.

I did pick up the extended warranty though. Don't want to mess with rod bearing issues, or DCT replacement.

More often than not, they'll replace the rotors when they change the pads. If they say they won't I would think you could very easily argue it should be done. I've never seen a dealer refuse to replace the pads without also doing the rotors though. Sounds like you have a decision!

i guess im the exception.. dealer replaced my pads at 48k but not rotors. apparently they were still in spec.
